Hello I have a question. Can I have one cyclic Load in the first 10 second of analysis and then have a different cyclic load in the last 10 seconds and both of them are in one job. First Cyclic Load is Force-Control and the latter one is Displacement-Control
Hi Mohammad Nasseri,
It can be done in two steps. Force controlled cyclic load can be created at the first step and deactivated at the second one. Displacement controlled cyclic load can be created using BCs at the second step. A jump of displacement may occur In Abaqus/Standard. In Abaqus/Explicit displacement remains continuous.
This is hybrid simulation. With Force and Displacement at the same time, you can't get accurate results. As the response with displacement control is more sensitive as compared to force control, there will be a sudden change in stiffness degradation. It's better you use Forcr control or displacement control.
Hi Mohammad Nasseri,
As Victor J. Аdlucky said, you can create two steps. In the first, define the Force-control load or any load you want. Then, if you want, deactivate it in the second step and define the Displacement-control load or anything else you need.
I recommend checking the link below. It’s an article about step, increment, etc. You might find it useful.

Best luck.
